Written by Filip RakowskiSome time ago I wrote an article about state management patterns in Vue. You may or may not know but I’ve been working with Composition API intensively for the past few months while building a new version of Vue Storefront and I thought it might be a good idea to share some of my learnings. The topic I found really interesting is how using Composition API has changed the way I’m managing my application state - both local and global. If you’re curious how different it is from the current mainstream approaches make yourself a coffee and feed your curiosity because today I will share with you how to use Composition API as a replacement for known state management patterns and libraries 🙂

Almost every modern web application is using some kind of dependency, even besides the preferred JavaScript framework.
